Tacos with no seasoning packets. Here is what is in one of those spice packets: yellow corn flour, salt, maltodextrin, paprika, spices, modified cornstarch, sugar, garlic powder, citric acid, autolyzed yeast extract, natural flavor, Caramel Color (sulfites).
JUST SAY NO to those sodium-saturated (430mg) spice packets. Go with fresh onion, cumin, chili powder, bay leaves, cayenne peper and fresh garlic.

Number 1 Udon. Char siu was on sale at Marukai, and bok choy is coming into season now that it's cooler.
Wednesday
Japanese Chicken Curry. A double-batch for dinner and freezer.
Thursday
Double down on Chili and a fresh Quinoa Salad, the go-to option for the choir potluck.
Friday
Corn Chowder. This was major comfort food when the weather got 'cold' In Hawaii, meaning the low 70s. Trying a new version based on Tyler Florence and the Barefoot Contessa, two of my favorite cooking references. Trying to say no to canned cream corn.
Saturday
Quiche. Make two save one for later!
